Late Father's Day Gift

So besides the very awesome S'Mores maker that I got Clint for Father's Day, I gave Clint another spectacular present the day after Father's Day...the gift of another child!  Yes, you read that correct.  We are finally expecting again! 

I woke up early Monday morning and took the pregnancy test.  I was shocked that it finally said 'Pregnant'.  I was so used to seeing 'Not Pregnant'. I ran back to our bed and jumped on Clint.  I told him "Happy Late Father's Day Clint!"  He was like, "Okay thanks."  I said it again with more emphasis on the Father's part.  He figured it out but thought I was lying.  I guess he was used to hearing the 'Not Pregnant' response too.  After the initial unsureness, he was excited.

It took us a while (a lot longer that I liked or expected) but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.  Twins run in both sides of my family so maybe there are two little baby Ray's this time.  There are no twins in Clint's entire Ray family so that could be exciting for them.

My first appointment is August 3rd and I will be 10 weeks along.  I can't wait to hear the heartbeat(s) :)

Father's Day

We had our own Father's Day celebration at our house on Saturday June 19th.  Clint wanted to have tin foil dinners as his special dinner so we made them.  We had bbq chicken, ground beef, corn on the cob, carrots, and potatoes.  For dessert, we had some of this cake that Amelia decorated at Bashas that morning.

On Sunday morning, I gave Clint his Father's Day gift.  You will probably think it's cheesy but Clint never wants gifts and this was something funny that I knew he would like.  I got him a Perfect S'Mores maker.  You add water in the back part and set up the graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow, and set it in the microwave for 30 seconds.  The S'Mores turn out a lot better this way for me because the little white arms hold the graham cracker down while the marshmallow is melting.  Normally when I would make S'Mores, the marshmallow would be rolling off the graham cracker.  Clint had like five S'Mores for breakfast and didn't want anything else.  So I guess it was a good present!

Here are some pictures of Amelia eating graham crackers in her pjs, with some crazy hair!

Grandma Susie's Visit

My mom came down for a visit.  We went to the Arizona Mills Mall to do a little late birthday shopping for me.  We had lunch and went on the carousel.  Amelia just loves going on the carousel and gets very sad when it's time to leave.

Later in the evening we went to our community park.  Amelia had fun hanging on the monkey bars, swinging by herself, and going down the slide.  I love the picture of Amelia hanging from the bars and sitting on the platform looking in the distance!

I WON!!!

So I just got an email from http://www.savingcentswithsense.net/ (I entered their drawing a week and a half ago) and they told me I was one of the three selected people to win 2 FREE Tickets to the SeaLife Aquarium.  Very exciting!   I never win stuff so I am pretty amazed.
